Is there

Aoi Serizawa (JP)

With the development of science, technology and media, the boundary between what is real and what is virtually generated information that we can obtain through our eyes is becoming increasingly blurred.

Is there is a reconsideration of the image we have of the material in front of us. This is done by creating a moving image of water that is different from the water we see in our daily lives. The “materiality” of water itself and the “visuality” and “virtuality” associated with its shape and movement create a gap in perception between the water we know and the water we see in front of us.

The experience of confronting the moving figure of water before one’s eyes not only reveals unknown aspects of water; it also provides an opportunity for the viewer to understand how he or she receives information and what kind of image he or she has of the environment and the experience.
